Default An Ethical Question...

Hey, I was thinking of buying shares in Krispy Kreme! Or Tim Hortons. But now I'm not so sure.

It's a question of ethics, really… is it right for someone who truly believes in low carb to go and invest in companies that promote obesity and premature death? Or is it everyone for themselves - is it proper to reap a profit from the uncontrolled impulses of others who are going to continue to stuff themselves with junk (and generate massive profits for sharheolders) regardless of what any of us say or do?

I dunno, I think that's right up there with investing in tobacco - junk food is an addiction after all.

Just wondering.
